Suddenly, we are back to making sensual news again. After a feast of murder news and budget talks, we are dropped with a Singapore 'Paris Hilton' style tape. A girl from a local polytechnic got her video of her sex life posted online.

This video tells alot about our society today. The young teens are getting bolder, more daring and promiscuous. A girl of "17-19" storing sex videos in her handphones was unheard of in the past. Are girls getting more daring or is it because of technology advancement? Now that handphones are everywhere, is it easier to take porn videos of yourself? To have sex at such a young age is frowned upon. Now it looks like parents have to deal with one more worry. That is sex on tape. Not only do they have to deal with their children having sex, they now have to also worry if their sex lives are going to be exposed publicly.

This video would surely cause outrage and raise eyebrowns of many. How is the girl going to face members of the public? Knowing that Singapore is so small, it is hard to post a porn video of yourself and get away without anyone recognizing you on the street. She would be infamous. Sources have claimed that she was sabotaged by a friend of hers and that her phone was stolen. It is still unconfirmed if these sources are true or if she had deliberately posted this video of herself online.

I urge all members of the online community to keep this matter from spreading like wildfire. It is humiliating enough for the girl's sex life to be shown in a 10 min video online. It would be worse if she gets disparaging remarks and wild accusations. Treat this as part of a societal problem that we need to solve and not something that we can exploit for our own pleasure.
